Two user computer desk

Abstract

A computer desk for use by one or two users. The desk integrates a monitor platform above the desktop and a keyboard tray system below the desk surface which are connected to a vertical pivot for coordinated rotation to maintain relative alignment of the monitor and keyboard over a wide angular displacement. The desk eliminates the need to manually realign hardware components when sharing use of a computer, thereby reducing wear and risk of unintentional disconnection of cables, while maintaining a maximal amount of desktop working space and allowing ergonomically and aesthetically favorable suspension of the keyboard below the desktop of the desk.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A computer desk comprising: a desktop;   an opening in the desktop;   a support means in spaced relationship with and below the desktop; and   a monitor and keyboard support assembly comprising: a ball bearing swivel plate attached to said support means,   a keyboard tray guide and a keyboard tray slidably attached to the guide, said keyboard tray guide being attached to said swivel plate,   a vertical support column attached to the keyboard tray guide and extending through said opening, and   a monitor platform attached to said support column above said desktop.     
     
     
       2. The desk of claim 1 wherein said keyboard tray guide and said monitor platform are rigidly connected to the support column in a common orientation.
